LILLEY: Liberal MP says ‘Let’s whack’ Ontario Premier Doug Ford

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have a funny way of practising the positive politics they preach.

The day after the Prime Minister told a group of supporters at a fundraiser his party would avoid a negative tone in the coming election, one of his MPs called for Ontario’s premier to be whacked.

“We’re going to have to stand in the face of what very likely will be negative, divisive campaigns while we stay positive, because we know that scaring people and dividing people might lead to short-term electoral gains, but it ends up hurting your capacity to govern for everyone,” Trudeau said Friday.
